The meadows of the Gsell mountain are an insider tip for nature lovers and those seeking peace and quiet. The meadows of Inner- and Außergsell spread out on the north side of the mighty Dreischusterspitze. The Gsellwiesen meadows are traditionally mown and the larch meadows are evidence of the mountain farming landscape.
A hike of tranquillity - solitude and silence paired with magnificent panoramas. The view of the nearby peaks of the Sexten Dolomites and the Carnic mountain ridge and the impressive view down to Sexten are particularly rewarding.
You should bring your own food and refreshments, as there is no catered hut.

Directions

The start is in the centre of Sexten. Walk past the Sparkassa (path no. 12A) along the asphalt path until you reach the forest. At the intersection, follow the signpost for Innergsell. The moderately steep path takes you via serpetines through the peaceful forest directly to the Innergsell meadows. Continue along the path and cross the scree field below the Gsell in the direction of Außergsell, continuing to the Außergsellwiesen meadows.

Descend directly to Sexten via trail no. 12A.

ATTENTION: The last section is closed. Therefore, take trail no. 16 for the final part to return to Sexten.
